Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Languages

Evaluate, edit, and annotate Ukrainian-language model outputs across translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar tasks. The work requires native or near-native Ukrainian, professional fluency in English, and relevant experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.

The work

You will assess the accuracy, naturalness, and cultural fit of Ukrainian text generated by a large language model. Day-to-day tasks may include evaluating translations and summaries, correcting dialogue or grammar, rewriting weak outputs, annotating grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features, and documenting recurring model errors for AI researchers.

What the screen is likely to test

Expect questions about specific Ukrainian-language projects and close analysis of examples involving grammar, syntax, stylistics, register, regional variation, and semantic fidelity. The screen may also test whether you can apply consistent evaluation criteria, distinguish an outright error from an acceptable variant, and explain findings clearly in English. Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies is preferred but not required.

Practical details

The role is designed for work in a distributed, remote team. The listing does not specify whether the workflow is asynchronous, the expected weekly commitment, or typical working hours, so candidates should be ready to state realistic availability and clarify scheduling requirements during the process.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your relevant experience is concrete and verifiable, including the type of Ukrainian material, your responsibilities, and the standards used.
A strong answer: Describe one or two specific projects, naming the content type, your exact role, approximate scope, review process, and a deliverable or outcome. Clearly separate work you performed yourself from work owned by a wider team.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by listing job titles or broad fields without explaining what Ukrainian text they handled or how their work was reviewed.
